Ruining some stuff for you

Just thought I'd put an end to some of those "unanswerable" questions:

Q: Which came first, the chicken, or the egg?
A: The egg. Chickens were selectively bred around the 7th century BCE, long after other birds were laying eggs. So even if you don't accept evolution (and dinosaur eggs), the egg came first.

Q: If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
A: No. Sound is the ear's transmittal of energy waves to the brain. Without an ear (and brain), waves aren't sound. However, the falling tree does produce the same disruption in the air whether or not it can be heard.

Q: Can computers see more colors than the human eye can?
A: No. Firstly, computers don't "see," sight is a function of the eye and brain, neither of which is available to a computer. Secondly, colors are a human construct, a method the brain uses to distinguish variations of reflection of light received by the eye(s). A computer can theoretically parse more shades of defined variation, but the definitions must be programmed first, and how would we know it can parse them past subtleties we can see? Who wants to take a computer's word for anything?
